VModel is a visual representation system developed to provide computer support to students learning how to create, articulate, and reason with scientific models. Vmodel software combines elements from traditional systems modeling software, concept mapping and argumentation environments to help students in creating and justifying models. There is a special emphasis on supporting the reuse and integration of previously modeled material in the course of making new models.
